EmilyGF Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hi everyone, Suggestions? He sort of plays Settlers of Catan now, but we prefer games that are two-player and faster. He used to love Patchwork until he mastered it. Then he loved Tayu but he plays too mean so I refuse to play him anymore (he shuts down the game by blocking every.single.move.) Ideally something where you work on winning as opposed to work on making your opponent not win. Thanks, Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Perhaps a cooperative game like Hanabi or Lost Desert? You all win or lose together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal_Bear Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Rush Hour is solo play. Rush Hour Shift is two player. Yikerz Gravity Maze is also solo play. BlinkSlamwich +1 on Blokus Qwrikle Chess (Start with no stress). There's a pretty cool online homeschool chess club that has early bird spring registration going on right now. I heard about it on here. My son really likes it.Ticket to Ride (my preference is not the original board, but later ones where there are multiple routes that you can build to achieve your goal) Sorry BattleshipConnect 4Rumis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate-chip chooky Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Trio Vision by Dr Wood Games. You need to visualise how you could make one move to match the arrangement of pieces on a card. Excellent for any age. Everyone is playing at once (no taking turns), so it is fast. http://www.eclipsegames.com.au/product.php?id_product=520 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernBeth Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 What about co-operative games where you are working together to achieve a common goal? We like Mountaineering, Search and Rescue, Break a Leg. These can be great to work towards winning and being less "mean" as you all succeed or fail together.

EmilyGF Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 These are great suggestions! Thanks. For some reason, I'd never thought of Ticket to Ride as appropriate for him, but it totally is and I think we may already own it... Yay!
